How Loftidase TH Products work
Thiocolchicoside + Diclofenac is a combination of two medicines: Thiocolchicoside + Diclofenac1 and Thiocolchicoside + Diclofenac2, which relieves muscle pain. Thiocolchicoside + Diclofenac1 is a muscle relaxant. It works on the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm and improve movement of muscles. Thiocolchicoside + Diclofenac2 is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling).
